Brumbies on the wagon
Captain Ben Mowen is off the grog all season, but the rest of the team will be going dry as well until the team wins a game on their South African tour – where they play the Sharks in Durban this weekend. It’s down to the senior player group as to whether the team gets to wet the whistle.
G&GR readers will all know staying dry is a lot easier when Richie McCaw isn’t playing.

Elsom legal payout
It’s not just the ARU Rocky has Denis Denuto legal swerve on – a Japanese court has handed down a decision upholding former Wallabies captain Rocky Elsom’s contract with Japanese club Kobe. It means they have to pay him out of his contract while he prepares to play for French mega-club Toulon in the Heiny Cup and Top 14.
That’s what you get for messing with a Renaissance Man.[one_half last=”yes”]
